It looks like some people live there, too, Deb. I’m guessing it’s a small community. I’m wondering of there is a store and maybe a bar?

Thank you Hugh! A little more than 4,000 people live on the island year round. The majority live in the incorporated city of Avalon and a small percentage live in the unincorporated village of Two Harbors. They do have grocery stores, a hospital, medical and dental services. The island is part of Los Angeles County, California. The cost of living is extremely high with an average median income of $111,184. Of side interest one has to have permission to own a car with a 25-year wait list. The only way onto the Island is by Ferry & walking everywhere is easily done.

I had no idea about this island, Deb. It sounds like a wonderful place, but your description also made me think about some of those eerie movies with places like that.
A 25-year waiting list for a car? I’d rather hire one as and when I need one, rather than wait that long. Anyhow, my driving licence will have expired by the time I reach the top of that waitlist.

lol , but since walking everywhere is easily accessible you wouldn’t need a car. However, I won’t even come close to the median income needed for living on the island. I’ll just have to be content with visiting occasionally.

The occasional day trip to the island sounds idyllic, Deb. What a fantastic day out, or maybe a weekend there.
